Commissioning Academy

We’re Not Just Teaching Commissioning — We’re Changing the Way Projects Are Delivered

At Commissioning Academy, we believe that the biggest project failures don’t happen at the end — they’re set in motion at the beginning. That’s why we exist: to help project leaders flip the script, take control from Day 1, and lead commissioning like professionals — not afterthoughts.

We train engineers, project managers, and commissioning leaders to stop treating commissioning as “just testing” and start using it as a strategic tool to drive performance, reduce risk, and deliver success.

Built for the Real World — Not Just the Classroom

Our frameworks weren’t created in a boardroom. They were forged in the field — on massive infrastructure, energy, data center, and industrial projects that demanded precision, speed, and results under pressure.

Everything we teach is proven in the real world:

• Commissioning plans that align with construction, not conflict with it

• Startup sequences that eliminate chaos and guesswork

• Execution strategies that deliver on time — without cutting corners

Whether you’re managing a billion-dollar energy facility or leading a smaller infrastructure project, our methods scale, adapt, and deliver.

Meet the Founder — Paul Turner

Paul Turner is a commissioning expert and founder of the Industrial Commissioning Association (ICxA), with over two decades of experience on major capital projects worldwide. He’s worked with utilities, EPCs, and project owners to develop and lead commissioning programs from FEED through handover.

What started as a frustration — watching good projects fall apart at the finish line — turned into a mission: raise the standard of commissioning, train the next generation of leaders, and help teams deliver successful outcomes from the very start.

What We Stand For

Our Belief: Commissioning is not a task — it’s leadership.

Our Mission: To equip you with the tools, training, and mindset to lead commissioning with confidence — from planning through performance verification.

Our Impact: Thousands of professionals across oil & gas, power, mining, water treatment, renewables, and mission-critical industries are now leading better projects because of our training.

Why It Matters

Projects don’t fail because of bad intentions. They fail because commissioning is misunderstood, mismanaged, or delayed until it’s too late. We’re changing that — one project, one leader, one system at a time.

When you join our programs, you don’t just get templates and checklists. You get a repeatable framework. A clear path. And the confidence to lead from the front.
